Help Newbie Build

I've got my Samsung 950 PRO 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe High Performance SSD. I wanted to get the ASUS X99-A/USB 3.1 motherboard as it was nice cheap but not sure if i'll get the max out of my ssd. I will be using Intel Core i7-5820K. I need help picking out a X99 motherboard that will support NVMe not sacrifice any speed and allow me to boot windows from it also.
Please help.

I expect any speed differences will be so minor you wouldnt even notice.

Difference from what exactly?

Oh sorry I thought you were changing motherboard not buying from new. But I'd say that the differences between performance throughout the x99 range of motherboards is probably very slim in real world use.

Do you know in which x99 motherboard I can use the full speed of my ssd and supports NVMe M.2. Or will any of the x99 board be ok if it states it has M.2 32gbps pcie
